It should be possible to use the vesa driver with WITH_NEW_XORG= without problems, this would give you working VT switching. However, vesa might give you crappy resolution and probably crappy colors on some video cards, as always with VESA. > > I tried NEW_XORG on 9.2, or was it 9.1 (stable), trying to startx with either vesa or intel, hung the computer, I couldn't even run "shutdown -r now".
